You claimed the USSR was murdering jews and non-Russians en-masse, not hard to see that you were calling to Double Genocide Theory from that. If you want to correct your statements you can.

The USSR committed horrible atrocities but they weren't as bad as the nazies, obviously. No idea why I have to clarify this, I never even mentioned the nazies.

I have no idea why ML always jump to double genocide when anyone mentiones bad things the soviets did.

The idea of a "Jewish Genocide" by the Soviets is Double Genocide Theory. That's why I said you're free to correct your statements. Yes, the Soviets did some bad things, but you're carrying water for fascists by defending them as "political prisoners" and claiming a Jewish genocide.

Claiming the USSR only sent fascists to gulags is ridiculous. Like a good example is my grandmother and her 6 kids, my mom included. The oldest kid was 10, a bit young for fascist. My grandmother and mom were the only survivors. My granduncle escaped that fate by hiding in the mines of kiviõli. Their crime was being jewish.

Also gay communities were regularly dubbed fascist for being gay here. Several Estonian writers and artists were sent to gulags as well. Jaan Kross for example was arrested by both the nazies and soviets and held in the same secret police building both used. Though he was later sent to a gulag where he was for 10 years.

I didn't claim only fascists were sent to gulags, the vast majority of political prisoners were fascists.
